Sleep-out for rent

Charley from Parklands - Marshlands

Disclaimer: Credit checks, background information, and rental history verification, shall be undertaken for prospective renters.

Disclaimer: Credit checks, background information, and rental history verification, shall be undertaken for prospective renters.

Hi all, some, or none at all.
I don't want to waste anybody's time, especially my own.
If you are easily offended, and/or have no sense of humour, please stop reading now...
The following may contain sensitive information, and some content may offend.
Your discretion is recommended.
I will have a small, self-contained sleep-out to rent, becoming available next Sunday 22nd March.
You're still reading aren't you?
The sleep-out is attached to the garage, at the rear of the property, in a safe neighborhood.
I'm searching for the perfect tenant please.
No?
Ok, I'd be looking for a male version of me then, and if you're out there, you'll know what to do now :)...
Failing that, I'm just trying to find someone, preferably a male, that knows right from wrong, and lives their life accordingly...please!
Are you still reading?
Perhaps you're a drama-free, macho, gay guy?? With a full-time job, that takes you away from home the majority of the time lol?
If no favourable result finding any of the self-confessed above, then I'm going to have to extend the gene pool, and be very specific.
I hope there's somebody in the market, that reflects my standard of living, and we can reside in an optimum coexistence.
A kind, thoughtful, mannered, individual, that likes animals, displays initiative, is approachable, and exhibits a common sense strategy to life.
Leading on from the qualities above, I envisage a mature male, that demonstrates good habits, and occupies a clean, tidy, living environment.
Somebody socially adequate, that enjoys their privacy.
A friendly, practical person, who won't mind participating in the upkeep of the property.
Like I suggested, I'm seeking the perfect tenant.
If I haven't completely excluded the entire human race, for those readers that still remain, congratulations, please email me at octscorpio66@outlook.com with a subject heading of RENTAL, and include any documents to support your application.
Thank you.

Have you found yourself back in the classroom - virtual or otherwise - long after you left school? We’re looking for people who have taken steps to futureproof their careers by upskilling.

Perhaps you’re teaching yourself to code, or maybe you’ve enrolled in an evening class or online course to help your employment prospects. It might have been something you did with your employer’s blessing, or maybe you’ve struck out on your own.

Maybe you’ve struggled to find work and did it as a way to get back on the career ladder, or perhaps you’re concerned about the pace of change in your field and want to stay ahead.

Whatever your brand of lifelong learning, we want to hear from you - email josephine.franks@stuff.co.nz
